We warmly invited you to the launch of our research report:

This immersive retreat experience took place in the spectacular mountainous landscape of Ardoch beside Loch Lomond, with its soaring mountains, panoramic skies and dappled woodland, to retreat, reflect, learn, pray and rejuvenate together.

This panel event will examine the role Islamophobia plays in sustaining abuse in Scottish Muslim communities.

We would like to invite you to attend an informal workshop to explore what is meant by spiritual well-being and why it is so important. How do we take care of our spiritual health and what does this mean as a student?
